Only had it happen once, last season, when I had a 20# class fish about 10 yards in front of me. I was using a reel spool for the first time all season, with braid that had been on it for at least two seasons, so there may have been a frayed or abraded spot that I didn't catch when rigging up.

I have a Saltiga 6000-Z. It holds almost a quarter mile (440 yards) of 50# Big Game braid, which is my #1 choice for spinning reels in the Canal. I am sure that you'd get at least 250 yards of it on a 4500.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
